The cross is Gods way of taking away all of our accusations, excuses, and arguments.

Many people need a new rewiring of their heart and mind.

You're here, you're breathing, you are the recipient of an extraordinary act of generosity called life.

So this is reality, this forgiveness, this reconciliation, is true for everybody. Paul insisted that when Jesus died on the cross, he was reconciling "all things, in heaven and on earth, to God." All things, everywhere. ...This reality then isn't something we make come true about ourselves by doing something. It is already true. Our choice is to live in this new reality or cling to a reality of our own making.

Something is profoundly wrong and we are desperate for justice, for restoration and for somebody somewhere to do something about this.
